Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken livers
- 250 milliliters non-fat buttermilk
- 100 grams whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- as needed cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the chicken livers in a mixing bowl and pour the non-fat buttermilk over them. Ensure all livers are covered with buttermilk and let them soak for 10 minutes.
While the livers are soaking, prepare the breading by combining whole wheat flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt in a shallow dish. Mix well.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly coat the parchment paper with cooking spray.
Remove the livers from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, then dredge each liver in the seasoned flour mix, ensuring even coating on all sides.
Place each coated liver on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray for extra crispness.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the livers are cooked through and crispy on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for garnish before serving.
